The Death of All Things Seen
“14.
DANIEL EINHORN GAVE his lawyer the location of a deposit box and where a key was hidden for his Chicago Union Club locker. There was a stash of money, along with bonds and securities that could be accessed and that, with discretion, if his children adjusted and spent wisely, if they stayed below the radar of the IRS, if the sum of their purchases was not too extravagant – they might find helpful, and, in the long run, when the IRS stopped looking, when the present scourge of accountability ...passed, they could resume life in the natural order where there would always be a separation of the rich from the poor.
Einhorn was not a snob in believing this, more a realist, aligned with how even Jesus conceded the poor would always be among us, so the Almighty could live with around 7 per cent unemployment, the best that could be hoped for in an imperfect world.
He was deadly serious in his general assessment of the economy and life in general. Nothing was a given, nor could anything be taken for granted.MoreLess
